Yesteryear – Caro Claire Burke

A tradwife influencer seemingly wakes up one day in the 19th century, living the reality of the life she has glamorized on her Instagram feed.  As she tries to escape her believed captivity and return to her family, she relives the choices that led her to this point.

I have no recollection of how Yesteryear, the debut novel from Caro Claire Burke, ended up on my radar.  It was mostly ok, though not really my cup of tea, but the ending twist felt like a bit of a cheat.  While there were some clues along the way, there were also feints which have no other possible explanation than the one you, as the reader, are initially expected to believe.
